Any truth to the rumour that Kai Havertz has been visiting Melwood with the view to join?

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of any visit and if there has been I have no doubts at all that Bayer Leverkusen would complain to FIFA if Liverpool has made another illegal approach for a player - one who signed a long-term contract in the summer and is not for sale.}

{Ed002's Note - I really have no idea what you are talking about. What makes you think Bayer Leverkusen agreed to this - and who accompanied him?}

I'm talking about about a rumour that Kai Havertz visited Melwood with Leverkausens permission. Apologies if that was not clear from my previous posts.
I have no idea who accompanied him.

I believe it is from an article from Football Whispers written by Sam McGuire Ed002. Here is where he says it.
"Havertz signed a new five-year deal at the BayArena in July but it appears as though this was more to protect his value after the Bundesliga side granted him permission to visit Merseyside"

Big prospect but he's at a good club for his early development he should stay for at least 2 more years, that is of course only if no other club would steal him in the iterim in which case you would have to act.

{Ed001's Note - you seem to be missing the point, it is not for people to spread crap, it is for the crap to be debunked. If you want to read clickbait trash then this is not the place.}

From what I can find on the web, the fact that Leverkusen allowed the visit to take place is a direct quote from the This is Anfield site, who themselves have put it in quote marks. Not referenced to anyone particular at Leverkusen, so it could've just been a random punter who said that!

No idea how reliable that site is nowadays, but it also suggests that Havertz met with Gerrard, Klopp and Couts, and that we are also courting Goretzka for a summer move on a free.

I asked a question about a rumour I had heard about from a coupla different sources.
I then went on to explain a bit more, from what I had heard.
Evidently from your attitude you seem to have some sort of problem with that.
I’m not sure that’s the most conducive way to engage with your posters.
Thanks for your time.

Eds, I know you's have previously mentioned a possibility of Allen leaving in Jan. Chris Bascombe now stating this also.
What I'm wondering is would he be replaced from outside or would a youngster simply fill his slot? I understand Grujic is signing but being loaned out again so if Allen leaves we'd be a player light especially in the middle of this current injury worry.
Have we another midfielder in our sights?

Not really an Allen fan so can see why he needs to go.

{Ed001's Note - surely you have answered your own question?}

Rossiter and Brannagan can fill in for Allen till the end of the season. We also have Grujic joining in the summer, so Allen's already been replaced.

'Qualify then give youth a chance'. Very similar sentiments to the dual paradox of 'you can't risk youth when you're fighting for a title' coupled with 'if you're losing you can't put the pressure on youth to turn it around'.

Play youth when its sensible to. Like when you're other midfield option is the terminally ineffective Joe Allen.

{Ed001's Note - shelved rather than gone. Once the Kovacic deal has been finalised then maybe we will revisit the idea, hopefully, but it is impossible to say now.}

Aubameyang creates so much space for himself and others with his pace. A constant worry for oppositions. Back that up with service from Coutinho, Lallana and Kovacic and we've got ourselves a pretty serious looking attack.

I'm a massive Dortmund fan and his movement is really intelligent and because of his pace it is very difficult for opposition to defend with a high line which in turn would suit our pressing game to a tee. Pace and power is so important in modern english football. I'm getting excited about next season :D

Origi has played 2 full seasons in the Prem as 2nd/ 3rd choice striker and has scored double figures both times.
The top scorer last season outside the top 6 scored 12 goals.
Origi as the main striker in a decent team will score that and that why he's worth £20mil in this market.

18 Jan 2018 14:42:02
But he still not injured for 2/ 3 months.
He's gone and not coming back.
That's the difference.
We are now a player light for the front 3 and if Sturridge leaves which is a real possibility leaves us even lighter.
Salah, Firmino and Mane can't play every game.
Why gamble with CL qualification?

Bolasie does not provide loads of assists.
His goals and assists numbers are actually quite average.
Just because he continually troubles our defence doesn't mean he's great. Our defence has just been poor.
He's 26 now and not going to get a whole lot better. His end product is generally poor.

Gingerlfc

{Ed001's Note - I really don't get the love in for Bolasie. He troubles everyone, but his actual effectiveness is very low. He does some fantastic things, but usually in 99.9% of cases, he follows it up by giving the ball away.}

Markovic did start before his injury and this was his first game back, much like Sturridge being on the bench on Sat. He's very fast indeed which suggests you're either talking about a completely different player or don't know what your talking about.
The problem Markovic may have in the Prem is that he's so slight, not that that's stopped other players, but it is a disadvantage.
